ehissi: Hmmmmmmm.......from the look of things it appears D DSSC/SSC lists have already been compiled and R awaiting order for publishing. At this stage its a matter of just hoping U R on D list except COAS is your personal personally Godfather............else O.Y.O.

Sam0: it is well my pple,if it is the will of God that we would join the military ntn can stop it, but if is nt the will of God we would nt be choosen.remember victory is from God Alone.

joining the Army, fine; it’s a source of
employment, but when the reality of
military service comes, he drops his rifle
and runs away.” Gen Minimah

azidomedogo: d smarter ones are always online.I know of one who is always on facebook till yesterday

ehissi: I am not quite sure what U mean by "bottom power" but I do know that for social courtesy calls or say PAF (presidential air fleet) cabin crew which is managed by D airforce or officers & NCO mess events or general social activities in D armed forces or ADC's and PA's to commanders; the NAF specifically (& D armed forces generally) would sometimes preferably love to choose ladies who R on D fair side or who look naturally attractive (not for immoral purposes really but) for the purpose of serving as tea girls/stewardesses/ADC's or PA's to senior officers (male & female) at certain events and that can give U some sort of edge as a lady in a recruitment circle if U're not looking too bad (I say this with strong reference to NCO recruitment though from time to time it happens in officers cadre sometimes); trust me they like fine girls well well or better still girls in D Miss or Mrs endowed category.....

The army will put U were they want as an SSC applicant else they will have asked U to make your choice like D DSSC's did. Its left for U to know what U want to pursue as a career as an SSC officer & strategically position yourself (in terms of lobbying & other postgraduate courses U can take either at D NDA or other armed forces institution which R too many to mention) to pursue it.

I don't know much about D aviation corp of D army & I am not willing to speculate about it as far as SSC & to a certain degree DSSC, U go where U R posted/assigned to & no place else except U dilligently seek it with strong reference to D standard or D general idea(depending on what's going on around U dia).............

ehissi: Hmmmmmmmmmm.........

There was a thread on NL spun for an issue,
It had so many followers who didn't know what to do,
So they calculated, speculated & raised so many clues,
Till each one was sure that what they speculated as facts was true........

Moral of the rhyme? In the armed forces there's a saying; "assumption is a sin". I mean this thread has grown from hard facts to ball out assumptions. I won't be surprised if most of D officers handling the selection board (both regional & final) have even been released by their units; at a time when who is & isn't a member of the final board is a mystery in D Nigerian army, Nairalanders already knew when D first shortlist will come out. Na wa ooooooh!! See parade!!!! (that can only happen in a country like Nigeria).......lol

Senators slot? Please!!!!! Most lawmen I know don't know D meaning of slot; (slot as in where U buy original phones? Where is D slot?). Especially now at a time when Lit Gen. Minimah is trying to prove his worth as a COAS, is it d same he that will be issuing automatic slot? Definitely there will be those who will approach him with list of candidates for "special" consideration, that don't mean they have a slot. Since his appointment, morale, welfare has been on top; and his brutal frankness has paved D way for upgrades to D armoury of D army (one of D biggest issues that most people dont realise is a major constraint & that it can keep morale in D clouds for a long time)

Even veteran applicants admit that a few of the requirements have changed; so what makes U think D methods of selection won't?

Did anyone at least think that the Army is an agency of government & that D government is given to respect holidays', religious observances (like D Muslim fast going on right now) and that they know that it ain't wise putting Muslim officers or candidates who will be fasting at a disadvantage in a recruitment exercise?

D former COAS put D army through a whole lot of issues like ethnic bias, zero welfarism, low morale issues. The last thing they need is religious bias in recruitment in the face of D boko haram crisis & I can assure U d army will not be known for being religiously bias for any reason, mark my words........

As for D person who gave a testimony of how she entered D NAF (which is kinda like my turf); all of U forgot one major factor (and I thought there were veteran applicants who knew better). It's a lady's testimony; show me a picture of D lady & I will tell U exactly why see made it (not doubting God's power nor D fact Dat God is a factor in things like this). Any lady who is fairly gallant, good looking, and is "endowed" or preferably is a dependent of a personnel of D NAF or has a Godfather has D best chance of being in D airforce with ease so I am not surprised she got in. Its even more pronounced in NCO recruitment . U don't believe me,take a trip to any NAF base & examine D corporal below cadre or fresh set of female flying officers, its very Instructive.............

odeebee: Bros i hail oo. na speculation corps u apply for?

obiksam: Please oh any newssssss. 16th don pass ooh

gambudu: Am sure 99.9% of pple here will put NA as their last option. NAF & NN enjoy better benefits than NA. Even NA officers will tell you that "it's dulness to be in the army"........they say dis all d time.NDA language

gambudu: words of wisdom from the portable fg offr of NAF thread 2013.Therefore,are u d type who as one oga@d top hiding somewhere and u come up here to tell us you depend on God to be shortlisted.Be not deceived.God does not need to use any man to help u.Bitter truth

dmajesticjoe: Hmmm! Lot of people finalily gave up, just seeing lot of new folks here. God help Me. MKO n Generaloluseye,n gud 2c u, where'r u emmanuel4fire and other gud frnds?

ajisebioyo1: next month ko next year ni, wake up

poundsmaker: Most candidates of this year recruitment applied thru ssc platform because of no option available for them on dssc enlisted vacancy NOT BOLDNESS,COMMAND,BRAVE OR MIGHT that most of them claimed. If otherwise, why would most of them applied thru dssc platform last year? My point is most dssc candidates are born killers, don't underestimate them. I personally just want to have a flair practice of my profession (which most candidates would also want to but caught with no option) before combating (if I'm given the opportunity). BESIDES, IT HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A REAL COMBATANT SOLDIER, DO YOU HAVE IT? THAT'S THE QUESTION YOU SSC SHOULD ASK YOURSELF. Read stories of late. Gen muritala, Gen obasanjo (rtd), late Gen Kareem Adisa, late Gen diya, late Gen idiagbon, Brigadier Gen Barsharu etc all these people fought the civil war, survived it and make history in the Nigerian Army. I'm not against anyone just spitting facts.

azidomedogo: head planting-pinning-skull grinding-lampard your pot or whateva u may call it was cancelled years back in NDA.those pix up their are oldies.So many RC cadets hav been sent home bcoz of this.Those who engage in it do it secretly.Even a serving officer dere not issue such orders openly

ehissi: Gentlemen Officers in waiting, my advice, stop surfing your couch over Nairaland less and get out more. Start punching bags and pumping steel, jogging.....your possible home for the next couple of months awaits

ehissi: Another day, another dog..........may the souls of the ever gallant folks doing this country proud rest in His Peace......

On my way 2 d office daily I see Naval Personnels n Young officers n it breaks my heart to see that where wanna be is not where I'm currently at n these ppl are living the Military life I practically dream of on a 24-7 basis This is sad! I know my first pay MUST be less than what I currently earn here at NDDC but the question is "DO I ENJOY WHAT I'M CURRENTLY DOING". The answer is an OROBO "NO"! Navy shld pls release the list ASAP n put my name there. For the records, I studied Architecture n wldnt wanna go work for these Private Practices whose only intention is to drain all ur energy with meagre pay n won't allow u create time for u to Live ur life hence I took d NDDC job but that ain't what I want! I ain't in this race for the pay at all. I don't mind even if my first tour of duty wld be at Maiduguri, just arm me with the necessary weapon(s) to defend myself and protect the defenceless civilians n snuff out the life of insurgents while protecting the territorial integrity of the Independent state of Nigeria thereby earning Force Service Stars n medals along d line OoooooMG! Lol. Navy abeg, Na beg I dey. Pls I'm begging, Biko. Just release a list, even if it is a blank list n let us just imagine our names on it. Thank You!

holland1987: who said d newly enlisted naf cadets will all b pilots flying jets for naf in pursuit of boko haram?

xcitedjay: it shows u ve passion for this job by your reply.one should be prepared for the hazards of this profession.the problem we ve is that some if not many re in it because they re opportuned to ve oga at the top and not because of interest. and when job situations come along,they are the 1st victims. I am very sure there are some guys who are fed up with army job.

Then your passion for the job is nothing more than the benefits accrued to the military. You need to realise that the military was made for things like this, think about your mother and helpless siblings or even relations and ask yourself what if this people you cared about were attacked. That should give you the passion to go out there and put in your very best to win the battle against these insurgents.

"If you stand for nothing, you'd fall for anything".

The problem in the military today has been caused by people like you who find themselves in the military, doing what they didn't sign up for, you need to realise that the battles you are suppose to be fighting is not against helpless civilians. If you realise the true aim of the military, you would not be bothered about whether a civilian slaps you or steps on your toes. The pride and prestige of wearing the uniform and its ranks is not by beating up people on the street but by using your God given talent, strength and intelligent to make Nigeria safe for the future generation. Even God would want to be on your side when he see the passion in your heart.

gambudu:

SailorXY: You've obviously quoted the wrong guy
I cannot apply for a job with SSCE when I have a higher certificate, why is that necessary?

SailorXY: 71RRI is for SSCE holders I guess, what do you want to do there as a graduate?

gambudu: bros tank you.abeg tell dem.dis NA thread is now for beggars.Y should any body be asking for NA past questions when NA as neva conducted any exam for dssc/ssc since inception and same goes to people asking for htacos to be sent to their email address.For God sake HTACOS is a confidential documents for military personnel only asking for a copy is like asking for your retirement certificates from service when you have not been shortlisted,it shouldnt come up on dis thread.pls people should behave themselves and stop asking for what is not needed at this point.And if you feel like knowing more about the military,you can use the Internet and carryout your research.plssss
